Clamp Current Sensor (30 A max)

Description

The clamp amperometric sensor is a highly precise and reliable device that allows measuring alternating currents without having to interrupt the cable to measure the absorbed current. Thanks to its voltage output function proportional to the detected current, it is possible to obtain an accurate current reading without having to use additional measuring instruments.

The clamp amperometric sensor is an excellent solution for those who need precise measurement of alternating currents for industrial or domestic applications.

To view an application example, refer to the diagram below, which shows an alarm for exceeding the set current threshold.
